1. Answer: If you have the invention tutorial badge, the new alignment tutorial contact does not show up. |

My problem with contacts has nothing to do with these, but instead with the ones you cannot talk to and the fact that they are added when you can't talk to them or they are not removed when you can no longer talk to them.
Example 1: The invention tute contact as mentioned above. When switching to either Rogue or Vigilante this contact as added as an active contact, however, you cannot talk to this contact as a rogue or a vigilante.
Example 2: I created a widow character. I did none of the villain contacts, and I mean absolutely none. I did other things to PL the character to level 20 then did paper mission to get tips and switched to hero as quickly as I could. This character not only still has Alan Desslock as a contact, which she cannot possibly talk to, but also now has Kalinda as a contact, who she has never spoken to.
There are many other examples. My opinion is that if a contact will not speak to you because of your alignment then that contact should not appear under the active tab of you contacts.
My guess is they leave the invention/origin of power pop-ups in place when side-switching for people who haven't played the other side before, or are new altogether so they know where the University/Midnighter's Club is on their new side.

These are good suggestions. I'll sign.
/signed.
Its annoying enough to keep the newspaper/radio when we switch.
I dont wanna have thousands contacts with no point, since they are outleveled or cant even talk to them.
This need a look of the devs.
I wouldn't mind, IF I could just drop them.
I don't want to talk to the AE manager. Ever again. I don't get anything for it, so why should I? At least the IO tutorial gives you some reward, so I don't mind doing that. Ditto for Ouro.
AE? Get the smeg outta my contacts list!
